Another TOI bashing

I have for sometime now been using the TOI e-paper (see here) to keep me abreast of events in Bombay. Unfortunately (or perhaps, fortunately), I do not utilise it to do the same as regards sporting news. Yesterday, I did. The result is the discovery of a new section (it must be new - I can't recollect ever noticing it previously) amongst the sports pages titled 'Graffiti'.

Here is an excerpt from yesterday's edition of Graffiti that no doubt every discerning parent will want their precocious 5-yr olds to begin the day with. After all, the sports pages (now web-pages) are the place we all did (I still do) most of my news reading.

ANDERSON SCORES IN THE TOILET!
Manchester United ace Anderson scored with a model in a Travelodge toilet after chatting her up with those three little words: "F***, f***, f***." The Manchester United midfielder, who is Brazilian and cannot speak English, demonstrated his low-league seduction techniques on a night out with team-mate Patrice Evra. Firstly he tried to bed Leah Houghton, 20, in front of her pals and Evra in a hotel bedroom. Then, he led her to the bathroom while their friends waited outside. A pal of Leah said: "Anderson couldn't talk to her because he is from Brazil and only speaks Portuguese.

"So he took his top off, stripped to his boxers and socks and pushed Leah on to the bed in front of everyone. "She asked, What are you doing?' Evra translated for Anderson, who told Leah, F**k, f**k, f**k.' Then he dragged her to the bathroom. "He ripped off her grey pencil skirt and knickers, and they had sex on the toilet while we and Evra sat in the bedroom watching the TV.
